QB Joe Flacco to join Browns' practice squad, sources say

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Browns are signing Super Bowl-winning quarterback Joe Flacco to their practice squad, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Field Yates.

It is expected that Flacco will get promoted to the active roster, sources told Schefter and Yates.

The Browns worked out Flacco on Friday. Cleveland was looking to add a third quarterback with Deshaun Watson out for the season because of a fracture to his throwing shoulder. The Browns did not work out any other quarterback before signing Flacco.

Cleveland defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 13-10 on Sunday with rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
